There is not one way which is right and all the rest wrong. Mountain climbers have to make the choice between climbing straight up to the summit by the direct route, or finding an easier route to follow. It is up to them. You make up your mind which is the right spiritual path for you and then follow it whole-heartedly. There are those souls who are seekers and have not yet found their specific path in this life. They will try one spiritual path after another and follow it a certain distance, then realise it is not for them and start off on another path. They will keep on doing it until they have found the right one. They will find the right one if they seek diligently and never give up their search. If you have found your rightful path, move ever forward and waste no time looking back or being critical of those souls who are still searching.
沒有一條這樣的道路,唯獨它是正確的,而其餘的都是錯誤的。
登山者需要做出這樣的選擇,是從直接的路線,攀爬直上登頂,還是找到一條更容易的路來走。這取決於他們。我對哪一條才是對我而言正確的精神道路做出決定,然後就全心全意地跟隨它。
有一些靈魂是探求者,他們還沒有找到他們在這生活中特有的道路。他們會嘗試一個又一個精神道路,並跟隨它一段距離,然後意識到它並不適合他們,便又開始走另一條路。他們會繼續這樣做,直到他們找到正確的那一條。他們會找到正確的那一條,如果他們孜孜不倦地尋找,並永遠不放棄他們的探求。
如果我找到了我正確的道路,便向前邁進,不要浪費任何時間在朝後面張望,或是在批判那些還沒有找到的靈魂們上。
